Hi all, This week was marked by another tragic earthquake in Lombok, Indonesia, with the death toll so far at around the 100 mark, though it is expected to rise considerably. Much of the international media coverage has focused on the plight of foreign tourists on the Gili islands, including scenes of near bedlam at beach evacuations yesterday. The islands did see damage due to the quake, including loss of electricity, and being so low slung, they are at significant risk of a tsunami if there is another quake.
